LATITUDE
32 INDUSTRIAL ZONE — RESIDENTIAL BUFFER
500. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the
minister representing the Minister for Planning:
(1) Has the
City of Cockburn or the Town of Kwinana allocated residential areas within the
buffer zone of the Latitude 32 industrial zone?
(2) If yes to (1), has the minister considered the health
impacts on individuals living in the buffer zone?
(3) Is the
minister aware that many residents suffered considerable distress because they
were forced to leave the area when it was zoned industrial?
(4) Does the minister concede that the buffer zone must
remain free of residential development?
Hon
HELEN MORTON replied:
I thank the member for some notice of the question.
(1) No. The
City of Cockburn and the Town of Kwinana have not zoned any land in the Kwinana
industrial buffer area as residential since the buffer was established.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) Residents in the former town sites of Hope Valley and
Wattleup were compensated at market value.
(4) The matter
of residential development within the Kwinana industrial buffer is subject to
future consideration by government.
